This week our lesson will focus on encouraging others and pointing them toward Christ and the things we know to be true. It's about using the gifts and abilities God has given us to further His kingdom. The bible story comes from the book of Acts and focuses on the adventures of Barnabas and Paul and how they continued to encourage others as well as each other to remain faithful to God even when it was hard.


In Acts 14:22, it says "We must go through many hard times to enter God's kingdom". It's through those trials when our faith is strengthened and we grow more dependant on our Heavenly Father.
